Grant Schemes
Because grant schemes are available to a broader group of individuals, you may be qualified this time around even if you were previously denied a free government grant under a previous iteration of the ECO Scheme.
Do you own a home and reside in England? Do you receive government benefits, or does anyone in your household? If so, you might be eligible for one of the funding programs.

ECO4
The ECO4 Scheme: What Is It?
Grants under the ECO4 Scheme are available to households that lack the funds to install energy-saving measures on their own. Insulation, solar panels, and heat pump heating systems are examples of such methods. Supported by many major energy suppliers, the Energy Company Obligation initiative aims to assist low-income or disadvantaged people in making improvements to their houses’ energy efficiency in order to reduce energy bills and carbon emissions. Eligible households can apply for free grants to install insulation, solar panels, and heat pump heating systems.
ECO Plus
The ECO+ Scheme: What Is It?
The boiler’s installation includes all linked pipelines, valves, fittings, flanges, firing apparatus, controls, appurtenances, and auxiliaries. The adverb applies to boiler field assembly.
LA Flex
What is the LA Flex Scheme?
One component of the government’s ECO program is Local Authority Flexible Eligibility (LA Flex). In order to better support certain communities, LA Flex grants local authorities and councils the authority to expand the eligibility criteria. This entails granting cash to more individuals in addition to those who are currently receiving benefits, typically on the basis of lower incomes, health, age, or location. The amount of obligation that Energy Companies
could offer through LA Flex was formerly limited to 25%; however, this obligation maximum has been increased to 50%, allowing for the consideration of a greater number of individuals who do not meet the eligibility requirements.Â
LAD Scheme
What is the LAD Scheme?
Through The Local Authority Delivery Scheme, Local Authorities received cash totaling £500 million to assist low-income households in increasing the efficiency and retention of heat in their homes. While some assistance may be offered for ratings B and D, including homes that are off the gas network, the primary goal of the LAD scheme is to promote energy efficiency in low-income and low-performing properties (those with energy performance certificate (EPC) ratings of E, F, or G). Under the scheme’s criteria, heating using fossil fuels or biomass is not regarded as a qualifying improvement.

Verify If you meet the requirements
After you submit the online form, we’ll get in touch with you to make sure we have all the information we need. To find out if you and your boiler are eligible, first complete the form above. If you are selected, we will guide you through the grant application process, which begins with a free survey filled out by an engineer with Gas Safe Registration.
The engineer will arrange a convenient time for your survey so they can assess the energy efficiency and current heating system in your home. Once all the details have been finalized and your ECO program application has been formally accepted, a Gas Safe qualified and trustworthy installer will install your brand-new boiler.
Then all that’s left to do is relax and take advantage of a more pleasant house and less expensive energy.
How does the process work?
Following your online application for a boiler grant, we will need to quickly contact you to make sure you meet all the requirements. It won’t take long to determine your eligibility. We’ll need to verify your status (whether you live in your own house or are a private tenant), the benefits you receive, your annual household income, and the number of children residing in your home.
We will also need to know the brand and model of your current boiler, its location, and its current state of repair. We’ll be able to complete your application and locate installers with financing in your region much more quickly if you can have all of these information ready when we call. After that, all you have to do is unwind and enjoy your nicer, more affordable home and energy.
